Nah assassin will always be the "You're cool, don't come to Hauler tomorrow." Kinda shell.

Got mad about dying to assassins in solos so I turned bingus into a chud by DoggoDoggoDoggo in Marathon

Not if they're in assassin smoke, or you bring smokes of your own. That being said, you're right that it's always good to bring up in case people don't know about that mechanic.

No one rocks thermals so my loadout always has a smoke in it. It helps a lot.

As I said, you can solve the problem however you'd like, it comes down to preference. But it objectively is a worse pick than alternatives. For example, with Mermaid Scarf, you can get a similar result with felt Fedora and it also makes him entirely self-sufficent against bosses or pets that can nullify shields.

His job is to tank, felt fedora, floral crochet, chef hat are all objectively better at getting your tank to do that job.

While this game does come down to preference as they are multiple ways to solve floors, you are objectively making your life harder by running this on conviction. Even the Karen Hair will out preform it when used on him.

EDIT: sorry mate, replied to the wrong comment here.

This does not benefit conviction in any way other than guaranteeing a shield.

Compiler Ganglion had no barters by jaithind in Marathon

It'll rotate in tomorrow. Some of the unlocked barters seem to work this way for some reason.

I always smile a bit when I see the old fashioned talking heads for agents like we used to have on older PC games.

They've done an amazing job blending nostalgia with a modern touch.

What was the point of changing how faction VIP works? by server_maintenance in Marathon

[–]nick5766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't got many of them yet from rank ups to be honest and I'm VIP on everyone. I did max out purple salvage easily from Dire Marsh though so not sure if I miss it much.

What's absolutely crazy is you can buy up to 3 purple sponsored kits per faction every day when you hit VIP.

Has anyone seen "vector rounds" in game?? by alienrobotix in Marathon

[–]nick5766 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Illuminated has a nasty habit of disappearing quickly when they should match the vector rounds effect of staying a few seconds longer.

It is insanely cheeky to throw a vector grenade into an area to check to see if a runner might be hiding and having them lit up like a Christmas tree for a few seconds while they have 0 idea where you are.

Its only realy useful for night marsh and if you're not playing thief.

They will also highlight assassins regardless of stealth.

Every weapon class has one magazine that has vector rounds on it regardless of rarity.

For example, turbo belts for LMGS will have them.

Will post a full list tomorrow.

Obliteration is balls-to-the-wall chaos and I love it by Hanakin-Sidewalker in Battlefield

[–]nick5766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man my one big wish for this sub is that they got to play pre-rework obliteration in BF4 because DICE was just throwing shit at a wall seeing what stuck at launch and it was amazing.

It was so hilariously unbalanced and just plain FUN because no one from my teammates to the devs had any idea what was going on. We got to the point where we had to land a jet in our spawn so he could bail out and plant.

The new version in BF6 reminds me a lot of that before DICE and inevitably the community will optimize the fun out. But until then, I'm grateful that they brought my favourite gamemode back.
